Yes, see http://numeric.scipy.org/.

It looks like the array interface is already included in the SciPy
package that I have installed on my machine (Debian packages
python2.4-scipy 0.3.2-8 and python2.4-scipy-core 0.3.2-4).

Perhaps I will try to update the next release of FFC (which might be
0.3.0) to use SciPy instead of Numeric. Any objections to this?
